HE DEALS THE CARDS AS A MEDITATION
AND THOSE HE PLAYS NEVER SUSPECT
HE DOESN'T PLAY FOR THE MONEY HE WINS
HE DON'T PLAY FOR RESPECT
HE DEALS THE CARDS TO FIND THE ANSWER
THE SACRED GEOMETRY OF CHANCE
THE HIDDEN LAW OF A PROBABLE OUTCOME
THE NUMBERS LEAD A DANCE
I KNOW THAT THE SPADES ARE THE SWORDS OF A SOLDIER
I KNOW THAT THE CLUBS ARE WEAPONS OF WAR
I KNOW THAT DIAMONDS MEAN MONEY FOR THIS ART
BUT THAT'S NOT THE SHAPE OF MY HEART
HE MAY PLAY THE JACK OF DIAMONDS
HE MAY LAY THE QUEEN OF SPADES
HE MAY CONCEAL A KING IN HIS HAND
WHILE THE MEMORY OF IT FADES
I KNOW THAT THE SPADES ARE THE SWORDS OF A SOLDIER
I KNOW THAT THE CLUBS ARE WEAPONS OF WAR
I KNOW THAT DIAMONDS MEAN MONEY FOR THIS ART
BUT THAT'S NOT THE SHAPE OF MY HEART
THAT'S NOT THE SHAPE
THE SHAPE OF MY HEART
IF I TOLD HER THAT I LOVED YOU
YOU'D MAYBE THINK THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
I'M NOT A MAN OF TOO MANY FACES
THE MASK I WEAR IS ONE
BUT THOSE WHO SPEAK KNOW NOTHING
AND FIND OUT TO THEIR COST
LIKE THOSE WHO CURSE THEIR LUCK IN TOO MANY PLACES
AND THOSE WHO FEAR ARE LOST
I KNOW THAT THE SPADES ARE THE SWORDS OF A SOLDIER
I KNOW THAT THE CLUBS ARE WEAPONS OF WAR
I KNOW THAT DIAMONDS MEAN MONEY FOR THIS ART
BUT THAT'S NOT THE SHAPE OF MY HEART
THAT'S NOT THE SHAPE OF MY HEART
THAT'S NOT THE SHAPE
THE SHAPE OF MY HEART

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man

Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man

And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone

I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you

Girl give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she’s waiting for me just across the bar
My seat’s been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you’re trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I’m trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Now I know that I’m not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let’s raise a toast
‘Cause I found someone to carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home tonight
